Description

Teasers are the gateway to all funding markets, buyers, funds, as well as festivals. They are the visible side of projects in development, an essential part which plays a big role in the whole process. At the same time, post-production is also an essential part of the entire course of documentary creation, often with more restricted access or referred on to specialized companies.

At DocsBarcelona we have brought these two needs together and for that purpose we are running a practical workshop led by Bernat Aragonès, a widely recognized specialist in editing and post-production.

In the course of making a teaser we will go through the main post-production processes, trying to get the most out them from both an economic and creative level.

Participant requirements

To participate in the workshop you must have a documentary project in development and bring a teaser up to 3 minutes long in an advanced stage of offline editing (in QuickTime HD format).

After the second session, it will be necessary to bring graphic proposals and visual references, so you need to have access to an editing suite during the days of the workshop in order to finish the cut and make the appropriate exports for colour correction.

During the sessions it is recommended you have a laptop and an external disk with the material. The samples will be made with Avid and Premiere. Basic knowledge of one of these two editing systems is recommended.
